QTips, will you transform the version 2.05 to the format 4:3 ?

This skin is the most governable that I have seen.
Good work, thank you.

[QTips]

Great you like it

but...what doeas governable means ?

I'd thought I would wait until next release then I will update the 4:3 skin

[patzzz]

Sorry for my bad english.
With governable I meant that is navigable, am I understood now ?

OK, I will wait to the next version, thank you.

Qtips,

Fantastic skin this is just what I have been looking for well done.

One slight problem if you can help, the Music main screen it shows 28 oblong boxes with small covershots with title underneath, not the full cover as the Movie screen ( 8 covers). Have I got a setting wrong or is it supposed to be like this.

I always change my mind of that...
you can change it easily with the pgup/pgdwn keys

QTips,

I'm missing something with the visualizations with Milkdrop and Foobar. I've got it working outside of XLobby (launches fullscreen when running songs direclty from foobar). But I can't get it to work from within your skin. I've downloaded the XMoveWindow dll (I think) and placed it into the XLobby plugins directory, but your two windows (the one in the upper right corner of the main music screen and the visualizations page) don't show anything.

Whenever Foobar gets launched from Xlobby, the "Bacon" component isnt' checked...even if I open foobar separately and check it.

Am I missing a step?

Much thanks!

[QTips]

I guess you are using wrong version of xmovewindow.dll
try use the one that is in the zipfile with my skin

I have done alot with the skin lately but I will not post new one before I have desided wich resolution to mainly build for.
Now I use 800x600 on my projector and need to make it anamorphic to get it right on my widescreen.But now my projector has a failure with the colorwheel which means that I maybe get a new projector with 1280x720.If that happends I make a skin for thatone instead

QTips,

I am using the version of XMoveWindow in your download. On the plugin tab of the XLobby setup, there is no status next to this plugin. Is there something you have to do to activate it? Could you publish your foobar preferences and milkdrop configuration parameters? If I force milkdrop to "always on top" through Foobar, it does the visualization, but XLobby keeps trying to break through and I have to alt-F4 to regain control of my machine. I have never been able to get milkdrop to play through the xmovewindow, however...

Thanks!

[QTips]

When you are in the visualisationpage you just press enter to get back to musicpage if it works as it should.
Anyway here is my zipped foobarfolder for you to try

I still have problem with getting rid of the mousepointer though.
It would be nice to have a external program to remove mousepointer from the system.

Still no good...your settings cause Milkdrop to launch as soon as music is playing on top of everything (Xlobby included), and not on the "Visual" screen. I can't even get to the "Visual" screen because Milkdrop takes control of the windows focus and I cant get back to Xlobby. This is the situation I described where I have to alt-F4 everything to regain control of my PC. The only thing I can see different is that you have Winamp installed on your PC (at least your Foobar was setup to look for Milkdrop in the Winamp directory, and not the Foobar/Winamp/plugins directory, where I installed it). I followed the instructions for installing milkdrop without Winamp...

It's not critical...but since I have a plasma, I wanted to use a visualization from Xlobby to prevent burn-in (which some people will tell you is just a myth on plasmas, but I can tell you for certain it happens on my NEC plasma...)

[C-moi]

try this
http://france.xlobby.com/foobar/xlobbyfoobar.rar
winamp folder must be in foobar2000 folder
We use milkdrop with XMoveWindow without any problem (now i display milkdrop in fullscreen : i hide an invisible button - défault - to go to the previous screen so when i push on enter, i go back to the previous screen)

cool, I will check it out any plans for ppc screens?

[QTips]

Well depends of my mood for it...I have a ppc but use it very seldom.Maybe later when summer is here and I spend more time outdoors.

a 4:3 version would also be needed when things are more completed

Can you post a active link so I can download your skin please.
